Reviews for Hotel Emma
Beautiful hotel with lots of special touches
Absolutely loved my experience at Hotel Emma. The staff was incredibly attentive, warm, and helpful (Walter at Valet went above and beyond!) The hotel is really beautiful, and has lots of wonderful food and drink options throughout the hotel. We felt very welcome and will definitely be back!

The Queen of Hotels
My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary at Hotel Emma. She truly is the queen of hotels in San Antonio. The architecture is stunning, the staff is so warm and engaging, the rooms are pristine, and the drinks and food are unforgettable. If you like cocktails, be sure to try the Three Emma’s. There is a fascinating story behind that drink. If you love a hotel with history, mystery, and elegance this is the place.

Paul talley is the best waiter in the world
Paul Tully was not only attentive and Charmaine. He was the best host and server. I've had in a long time. He smelled fabulous and we had to get up and hug him and smell on me. He just smelled so good. He was so sweet. He was so nice. He told us all about the history of the Emma. He couldn't have been a finer.Will definitely come back and ask for paul telly

Mercedes, Paul and amazing French Toast!!
Came for the highly reviewed breakfast, but as amazing as the French toast was, Paul and Mercedes as our servers made the whole experience a delight. From the special coffee that Mercedes made us to the amazing history of the hotel shared by Paul .... they made the meal incredible.
